ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION

Exploring Data Migration and Supply Chain Management in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
 WHAT IS RPA?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a productivity technique that uses software robots to
automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time for human workers to focus on more complex
tasks. RPA uses AI or machine learning to mimic human-computer interactions and perform
tasks at high speed and volume.
OR
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the use of software with Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning capabilities to handle high-volume, repetitive tasks that previously required
humans to perform. Some of these tasks include addressing queries, making calculations,
maintenance of records, and performing transactions

 LITERATURE REVIEW
 Data migration involves transferring large datasets between storage types, formats, or systems, which is
prone to errors and inefficiencies.
 In supply chain management, optimizing processes like inventory tracking, demand forecasting, and
logistics coordination is critical.
 Existing literature highlights the benefits of RPA in addressing these challenges. For instance, Chen &
Huang (2007) emphasize RPA’s capability to enhance data consistency, while Davis et al. (2010) explore its
potential in reducing lead times in supply chains.

• Raw Data Analysis

The raw data collected from interviews, surveys, and performance metrics indicates significant improvements in both data migration and
supply chain management after the implementation of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). The results highlight:
 Data Migration:
50% Reduction in Data Migration Errors:
Organizations using RPA for data migration report a 50% reduction in errors compared to traditional manual methods. This improvement is
attributed to RPA's ability to automate the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, which reduces human intervention, thereby minimizing
data entry mistakes, mismatches, and corruption.
 Supply Chain Management:
40% Improvement in Supply Chain Responsiveness:
Companies using RPA in supply chain operations report a 40% improvement in responsiveness. This includes faster processing times for
inventory management, demand forecasting, and order fulfillment. RPA enables real-time data updates and automated communication
between vendors, suppliers, and customers, contributing to faster decision-making and reduced delays.
Example: Company X integrated RPA to automate order processing and inventory tracking across different web applications.
As a result, response times to customer orders decreased, and real-time stock updates improved, leading to higher customer
satisfaction and reduced stockouts.
